Convert all of my end machines to have rcmd.long.host.name for v4 service,
hope that a large percentage of the clients I have deployed can use it,
and not do any translation;

Or: some sort of host lookup funcction, probably something using gperf,
but that would be a) really site-specific and b) need to be recompiled far
too regularly. 

I think we're just going to pray that we don't hate life, and move
forward.
